Week 24: February 13 - February 17

This week we'll focus on the strike wave of 1934 and the impact that these strikes had on the New Deal. We'll begin with a role play on the West Coast Longshore Strike, take a step back with an excerpt from a book that looks at the four major strikes of 1934 and their impact on the New Deal, and finally we'll examine the various programs of the New Deal to come to our own conclusions about the strikes' impact.
